Industry-specific executive groups

Industry-specific executive groups place chief executives in peer networks of non-competing companies from the same sector, so the conversation can be about the industry's actual economics. They tend to be run as commercial programmes with published or quoted fees, and the composition rule — no direct competitors in the room — is the feature that defines them. Sector bodies for real estate, private capital and venture are listed in their own categories.
